PAGE ONE

Panel 1:  Raiden and Fujin begin clashing again, the wind and thunder getting more intense with each strike they trade.  Raiden knocks Fujin back with a blast of thunder and lands his Electric Fly (SFX: AYBAYBAYAY or whatever he says I don't know)

Panel 2: Raiden knocks Fujin to the ground and flies down towards him.  Fujin dodges out of the way. Raiden leaps forward and grabs Fujin, shocking him.  He kicks him back and throws a thunder bolt, before rushing forward and landing combos, breaking Fujin's ribs with a knee.  He lands a cross wreathed in thunder, breaking Fujin's jaw.  He goes for a left hook, but Fujin blocks and lands a left slash elbow, before locking Raiden in the clinch and landing two left knees to his body and three right knees to his head.

Panel 3: Fujin continues the pressure, landing two more right knees to Raiden's head before  using a gust of wind to lift Raiden up and slam him down. He then propels himself in the air, landing several spin kicks, the last one knocking Raiden away.  Raiden throws a thunder bolt, but Fujin counters with a blast of wind and follows up with a knee to the body.

Panel 4: Raiden goes for a right uppercut wreathed in lightning, but Fujin blocks and counters with a right hook.  Fujin lands two right roundhouse kicks to Raiden's body before landing a left roundhouse kick to his head.  He chants and magical chains restrain Raiden

Raiden: What is this?! 

Fujin: I must hold you down and purge this corruption from your body!

Raiden: You still try?! Pathetic!

Fujin: You will be cured soon brother.  Bo Rai Cho!

Panel 5: Bo Rai Cho comes up to Fujin and hands him a blue potion. Fujin opens it and a blue mist comes out. Raiden struggles, but the chains have a strong grip. 

Johnny Cage: I hope this works...

Liu Kang: As do I. This corruption has plagued Raiden long enough

Kung Lao: It is weakening him too. I found out from Fujin that Netherrealm magic weakens Raiden's power due to its dark nature, and the corruption is slowly killing him. 

Sonya: Damn... that sounds terrible

Kitana: I hope he is freed

Panel 6:  The blue mist envelops Raiden, as Fujin and Bo Rai Cho chant.  Red lightning shoots out as Raiden struggles to escape. The blue mist grows larger.  Raiden shoots out more red lightning, as Fujin and Bo Rai Cho struggle to keep him restrained. Suddenly, one of the chains break

Fujin: Damn it!

Panel 7: Raiden shoots out a massive amount of red lightning and the blue mist dissipates.  The chains break. The fighters all stare in shock

PAGE TWO

Panel 1: Raiden cracks his neck

Raiden:  Not bad, but still a pathetic effort. 

Fujin: Seems it will have to be done by force... but not by me

Raiden: And why is that?

Fujin: If we keep fighting and unleash our full power, the entire universe will implode. I cannot afford to have that happen. 

Raiden:  A pathetic excuse!

Panel 2: Fujin smiles. Suddenly a flaming spear comes whizzing past his right shoulder, a ball of ice whizzes past his left shoulder. Raiden dodges both. Fujin teleports back to where the others are, and we see Scorpion and Sub-Zero, fully healed, although their clothes are torn. They both flash Raiden a serious stare
